Humor me!

Stacey at Design Addict Mom tagged me in an award (ohhh forever ago...no really) with some questions to answer. (Thanks for thinking of me!). I just adore her - her blog is beautiful, her heart is beautiful and her son is beautiful. She's just one of those people whose souls radiates through her writing and the inspiring pictures that she posts!

1. Why do you blog?
This blog started because I wanted a way to remember everything that I came across that I loved - and to share it! I still look through the archives and love everything. Plus, how easy will my christmas list be to make? ;) However, it's also since morphed in to me just enjoying being a part of this little community. I'm in awe at some of the amazing girls I've met along the way. I was away for last week and came back so excited to see everything I've missed!

2. What are your 3 best memories?Spending my summers as a teenager with my great-grandparents in Kentucky, me and Brandi making each other laugh so hard during classes in grad school that we would be shaking behind our computers trying not to make a sound or a scene!, a w/e Mark and I spent in Galena with his motorcycle, bed and breakfasts and some wineries =)

3. Name 4 of the best fiction books you've read.

Middlesex
Prep
Call Me By Your Name

Watership Down (I just remember loving this as a teen)

4. What are the 5 best movies ever made?

I'm so not a movie buff...I'm too in to books, but here are some I like!
Man on Wire
Where the Wild Things Are
Office Space =)

Besides the fact that I think this is the most difficult kind of question in the universe? One of my favorite things to do is to open the dishwasher after it's done running and stick my face in the hot air that comes out. Does that count? Maybe I fail at this question!

8. If you could have a freaky friday experience, who would you change places with?

Gosh, i'm blushing here. That's some deep stuff you wrote about me, especially the part where my soul radiating thru my writing!:-). Thank you. I loved reading your answers and i know it was a pain to answer those questions and 10 at that. I think awards shouldn't have all these questions attached to them. I also think Claire suits you well too... xx

Those Are good questions!!! , and of course you're answers are equally good! hehe I wouldn've been able to finish the movie one either....but Where the wild things aree would've made the list too!!! :o)Great blog!

oooooo where to start? the dishwasher thing... love it!bed & breakfasts are my favorite, & i think claire is a beautiful name.

thanks for the list of books, i haven't read any of them.i believe there is a copy of middlesex floating about on one of the bookshelves around the house (my mama is an avid reader as well).i'll have to reead it after tulip & between pesky school business!

Ok Claire! I totally forgot about office space! what a laugh! Remember watching that movie after having my first internship and realizing how much office work sucks! And my too, can't live without my straightener although I am here without it but then again where am I? In the middle of nowhere so how cares!

yay, i love learning more stuff about you! and you are totally not alone with the hair straightener thing... though i've been too lazy lately and haven't used it in a while. and i looove "middlesex." definitely one of my favorite books too! and i see you're reading "water for elephants." it's really good! oh, and that book you were telling me about "one day" is being made into a movie and i just saw a few days ago that anne hathaway is starring in it and apparently cut her hair into a pixie cut for the role! the book is at the library so i'll have to read it before the movie comes out!

Ooh, I love Watership Down. Once I took a pottery class and refused to make bowls etc. I just made little ceramic rabbits every day, and my grandfather made my sisters and I a sandbox so we could make warrens for them!
